According to Oddity Central, the woman, known as Xia Tong, lost one of her eyes in a car accident in 2013. She ended up getting a prosthetic eye to replace it when she was only 18-years-old.
The young woman then made the choice to turn her circumstances into an advantage rather than losing her self-confidence by avoiding people and social activities due to her appearance.
She then began creating all kinds of prosthetics for herself after completing her training to become an ocularist, prosthetic eye technician. She shares most of her creations on her social media platforms and has since gained a huge following.

Xia Tong is perfectly capable of creating traditional prosthetic eyes that could look like real ones, however she is best known for her “bionic eyes,” which can change colours and even flash when activated.
Videos of her experimenting with these unusual prosthetics have since gone viral in China. She has also recently caught the attention of mainstream media due to the uniqueness of her creations.
Wah, how cool! She can now appear like an actual Terminator or robot!
